These Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers are pretty amazing. They are a spicy, mouth watering, naturally gluten-free snack! We also offer up traditional oven instructions too!
Jalapeno poppers used to be a favorite treat of mine before going gluten-free.
I used to always have a stock of them in my freezer. Fast forward a few years and I miss them badly!
But living without does not mean I have to miss out. Besides making them fresh, you know exactly what ingredients are in those spicy little guys!

You start off with some fresh jalapenos.
Next up, you are going to stuff them. Easy peasy!
Next up, dip the poppers into a crushed tortilla mix. You can finely grind tortilla chips in your food processor to create a delicious naturally gluten free topping.
Or you can use store bought gluten free crumbs to do the trick!
I bet you are getting hungry this thinking about this, aren’t you? I know that I am!
You can cook your jalapeno poppers in the air fryer if you have one.
Or you can bake them in the oven on a sheet pan! (ad) It is YOUR choice!
Either way the results are delicious! I am telling you that these are GOOD!

I think the first thing I need to do is get me one of them air fryers. I have never tried one but want to. Then I’m going to go shopping for these ingredients because my mouth is watering just looking at your photos.
Thanks Terri! Yes, for sure give it a try, the air fryer can do so much!
I am not big fan of jalapeño.. butI can try this out for my husband who love ll spicy food!
I hope that he enjoys!
I have been really curious about air fryer since we try to eat healthier. We generally grill our jalapenos but this looks like an amazing option for us since we have celiac.
We LOVE our airfryer and yes it is such a great option since we can’t usually get safe fried food dining out! Give it a try!
I have wanted to get an air fryer for the longest time! This recipe makes me want one even more, but my husband might kill me with another kitchen appliance.
It is worth it, I love mine!
i love our air fryer! i use it multiple times a week. everything turns out so well. i’ll have to try this recipe out.
I know I love mine too! Such tasty recipes we can make with it!
I’m making these tonight with peppers from my garden. I’ll add some cheddar to the cream cheese mixture, but what do you think about subbing green onion for the parsley?
Jayne, I think that would be delicious! Enjoy them!
I absolutely HAVE to try this! I love jalapenos!
Those are fantastic! I love jalapeno poppers. I’ve been saying I need to get an air fryer, and now I think you just sealed the deal.
Yum! I’ve had some before and they were delicious. I’m glad you found a gluten free alternative. I’m trying to convince my husband that I need an airfryer. 😉
I need to get an air fryer, I know that my middle would love these. He is a huge fan of eating jalapeno’s. I’ll have to try to get an air fryer soon and try your recipe idea here for these gluten fere jalapeno poppers!
These look fantastic – I love the idea of the tortilla crumb topping! I tried a recipe years ago that was a total fail, and i’d love to make this one.
I absolutely love my air fryer!! My favorite thing right now is air fried radishes! I will have to try these!
Would you please tell me how to air fry radishes? I would like to try them.
Thanks Ann for your comment and question. That is something that I haven’t tried before. Have you had fried radishes before? If so did they have a breading on them? I’d love to learn more!
This looks so delicious. I love spicy food so this is a must try for me!
I love the idea of using an airfryer for these! I also love that they are gluten free! Going to have to give these a try for sure.
I’m not a huge spicy food lover but I bet these are so good! Maybe I could make them with a less spicy option?
I am thinking maybe use a serrano pepper instead? Or another pepper that isn’t quite as hot 🙂
I don’t like hot pepper so I use cubanelle peppers …….very good! Just used by new Paula Deen 8.5 qt ceramic non-stick XXL Air Fryer…it is awesome. This is my third air fryer ……but first Paula Deen one…first one was too small…..second one drawer feel and was dented and wouldn’t close…third one is the charm. Basket finish is ceramic non-stick and easy to clean…..no digital to break. This is the new one for 2018 and they were out of stock for awhile. My only con is Paula could have given us a nice cookbook this one has very few recipes!
Oh, I’ll have to check out cubanelle peppers. I just googled it and it looks like the sweet pepper that is growing in my garden. I’ll have to try those when they are ripe! Oh, I will have to check out that Paula Dean air fryer too! I think it sounds nice and big!! Yes, a book with it would have been great!
